DRINK MIXER.

Application filed September 8, 1921. Serial No. 499,126.

To all whom it may concern citizen of the United States, residing atClucago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois,

provement' in Drink Mixers, following is a specification.

This invention relates to drink mixers and is fully described in thefollowing specification and shown in the accompanying drawin 's, inwhichig. l is a front elevation of a drink mixer;

Fig. 2 is a partial vertical section on line 2 of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 3 is a plan, view and partial section on the line 3 of Fig. 1.

This device consists of a base 10 .havin a hollow standard 11 securedthereto.

collar 12 is adjustably held upon the standard 11 by means of anadjusting screw 13 311(1 6311165 two holders 14. and 15. These holdersserve to hold containers which rest upon the flat base 10.v

A cover 18 having a slightly conical bottom 18 as shown in Fig. 2 restsupon the top of either of the containers 16 or 17 and carries anelectric motor 19 upon a plurality of legs 20. This motor has a verticalshaft 21 which extends down into the container 1 and has an agitator 22secured upon its lower of which the end.

The handle 23 is secured 'to the motor 19 and a push-through electricswitch 24 is preferably secured-to this handle, the switch beingconnected to the motor by suitable wiring'. A flexible wire 25 connectsthe switch 24 with a connection 26 on the back of the standard 11 whichin turn is connected with 40 any suitable source of electric current bymeans of the wire 27. Assuming that both the containers 16 and 17aneempty, the method of 0 device is an follows. The container 17 is removed and the drink to be mixed is poured into it and the container isset back in the holder 15. The cover 18 is then raised and placed overthe container 17 with the agitahave invented a new and useful Tin-- 16and 17" perating thistor 22 in the container as illustrated. The swltch24 is then thrown so as to start the electric motor, thereby causing theagitator 22 to be rotated and the drink to be mixed.

As soon as the mixingoperation is completed the switch 24 is thrown tothe off position, the cover removed and the container 17 lifbedout ofthe holder and the drink removed from the container.

Where this drink mixer ispused for mixing only a single drink, such asmalted milk, the cover 18 maybe moved to the other container withoutwashing and though it remains idle for some little time, no dirt orflies are able to get tothe parts that come in contact with the drink.The used container is then washed and then returned to the holder 15.Where this mixture is used quite frequently the next drink to be mixedmay be placed in the second container while the first is being mixed andas soon as the mixing operation is completed on the first drink thecover may be moved immediately to the other container.

While I have shown and described but a single embodiment oi myinvention, it is to be understood, that it is capable of manymodifications. Changes therefore in the construction and arrangement mabe made withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope of the invent-ion asdisclosed 1n the appended claims, in which it is my intention to claimall novelty inherent in my invention a; broadly as possible in view ofthe prior a Whatl claim as new, and desire to secure by LettersPatentis:
